Man charged after car hits house, crashing into bedroom

A man faces a charge of impaired driving causing bodily harm after a Wednesday morning crash in which a vehicle struck a house, crashing into a woman’s bedroom.

At around 2:00 a.m. police went to Second Avenue North and Osborne Street, where they found a vehicle lying on its side at the east side of a house. The house had been “significantly damaged,” police said in a release.

Two men were at that stage out of the vehicle, with one remaining inside. In the house, a 76-year-old woman was calling for help. When police entered the home, they saw the woman was still in her bed, but the bed had been moved from the wall by the car’s impact, and the room was covered in debris.

The woman was sent to hospital by EMS, but did not appear to be injured. The three men from the car were also taken to hospital. A fourth man contacted police Wednesday to say he too had been in the car, but had suffered only minor injuries.

The 18-year-old driver of the car has been charged and is set to appear at Provincial Court on July 11.
